I get same effect with railroad cars too in other some places all the time.

Cheers, thinkpadcollection

Yeah, but even if you switch over the provider to Google Maps, it literally shows the same place. I kept zooming into nothing but white thinking that it was a really tiny plane. And then I went to actual Google.

How did you mean by this "switch over the *provider" "? I just go directly to the www.google.com then go and click, hover over 9 squares logo to bring up selections (near upper right corner) then select google's "maps".

This is where original lube transformed into glue. This is why I said take a look. The end play is kept in place by the snap on cover over the stepper's housing. I just take this cover off and unscrew and withdraw the lead screw with it's magnet rotor, clean off old lube on all both sleeve bearings and lead screw. Reinstall lead screw, reinstall snap on cover, lube sleeve bearings with car motor oil and one line of grease on the lead screw and try again.

A recently released blog-post of a Polish Lenovo-partner confirms this assumption. According to digitmedia.pl, the new models ThinkPad T480, ThinkPad T580 and ThinkPad T480s will be announced at CES and they are going to be available in a March/April timeframe.

Do you know if the two + and two - are used separately internally? Just considering the possibility of a worn-out jack. I'd assume the pairs join together where the connector is soldered to the board.
